I have been banned!

I've now had it confirmed by the Haworth Village Association, most of whose members are there to promote their trade, that I have been barred from their Facebook page. What did I do wrong? Criticised them, and I dared to promote my business on their page without paying the £100 membership fee. Good heavens.
These are the people who are dictating who does what, where, why and at what cost in the village of Haworth. Such a shame. The real villagers and people with its best intentions at heart should be given a chance...but don't dare hold an opinion unless you've asked permission.
